You're standing at Buda Castle, the old royal palace of Hungary. It sits on the southern tip of Castle Hill, about seventy metres above the Danube. Look at that long façade and the tall dome. You can see it from almost anywhere in Budapest, and it's especially striking from the other side of the river.
